@SFS, can you please say something of substance while you are still on? Who do you suspect, who do you not suspect, and why? You don't even have to answer those questions specifically, I just want to see something of substance from you. Because so far you have frankly filled your posts with fluff (and more recently defending yourself a bit).
I guess I'm still feeling my way around. This doesn't feel like a team exercise, so I'm off in my own little world trying to collect information, cause I'm gonna be way slower than you guys at this. My strategy is to contribute the information I have, and I have tried to do that in the past hour in the asking of questions about posts. I'm trying to hold people fully accountable for what they write. The "defending" (which I think is different from "defensiveness" in the same way that "alone" is different from "lonely"), is because I intend to be fully accountable for what I write.
There was a post earlier about someone using the terminology "we townies" in a couple of posts, and what that meant. I guess I've now joined that club. Someone tell me what it means, if it means anything.
Who do I suspect? I dont know. I find it weird that Pops JUMPED to my (I think it was "my", but have asked for confirmation) defense with the "He's town, lay off him" comment in #371, but then in #469 ACCUSES me of deleting a post, a notion I have since rebuted (sp?). (Anyone still wondering about my commitment to the notion of not deleting a post should be apparent by my three tries (at #322, 324, and 326) to unvote correctly in bold). Pops was also the first responder (at#64) to my inquiry at potentially playing in the game. In that response, he claimed "I was one of his favorite posters on f.DS". Maybe he thought a newb would be easy to manipulate if he caught a Mafia role?
IRL, I have a 34-year career in laboratory chemistry and quality assurance. My loyalty is always to accurate data, so I'm going to concentrate on making sure that the data available on me are correct, because bad data generally leads to bad decisions, and because good documentation is what I know. If that approach comes across as defending, I'm good with that.
SPeaking of loyalty to good data, before I vote on a discussion thread being started, can anyone speak to the possibility of information becoming accessible (probably inadvertently) through contamination of the discussion threads for MI and MII and MIII?
On the subject of EDITING posts (note, I did not say deleting posts), is what Axxle did with
